Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 23 The Newcomer Who Disappointed Zheng Zha
A young man named Lu Renjia suddenly woke up and found himself sitting on a sofa in a living room, with his companions sitting next to him, looking dull and as if they were sleepwalking.

Why am I here? Why is it so dark outside...! Lu Renjia woke up his companions in panic, trying to find out what happened from them.

However, his companions woke up after he called out, but no one remembered how they came to this house.

Everyone's memory stayed at the same moment, that is, in the afternoon, when a group of them gathered in a square, discussing how to fill their stomachs, two patrolmen came to them.

Then the memory was cut off, and when they woke up again they were in the same place they are now.

Just as everyone was arguing, Lu Renjia saw the backpack on the coffee table, opened it and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, there's food here, and a few daggers with strange patterns carved on them."

"Is there any food? Let me see?" The nine people who had not eaten for almost two days divided up all the food in the backpack, leaving only five daggers unattended.

Seeing that everyone else was wolfing down the food in their hands, Lu Renjia calmly put a dagger into his arms.

Then he handed one to each of his two companions, Xiao Bingyi and Qun Zhongding.

Looking at the dagger handed over by Lu Renjia, the two men looked at each other, silently accepted it, and hid it inside their clothes.

Although other people around did not notice this action, Zheng Zha and others two kilometers away saw their little movements clearly through the familiars hidden in the room.

After this scene happened, Zhang Jie looked at Zheng Zha with an embarrassed expression and spoke to Luo Li for the first time.

"You should have listened to Luo Li and just given them some food."

Zheng Zha did not reply, but just watched the subsequent developments silently.

After eating and drinking, Lu Renjia and his group discussed again how they came here and whether they should leave.

"Could it be those senior people who brought us here?"

"It's possible, but we have no relevant memories."

"Hey, I remember the senior said that one can strengthen their abilities from some main god. Is it possible that someone has strengthened their hypnotic abilities?"

"That's possible, but they abandoned us, so why would they bring us back?"

"Could it be because of the Grudge? I remember similar horror movies all have the same setting, where ghosts become stronger as they kill people. Did they place us here to prevent anyone else from being killed by the Grudge?"

"That's possible. Oh, and aren't there a few strange daggers in the backpack? Could they be weapons left to us by the elders that can be used to fight against the Grudge?"

I don't know who said this, but the newcomers' eyes immediately focused on the backpack in Lu Renjia's hand.

"There are indeed three daggers. I took one, and there are two left."

Lu Renjia picked up the backpack and poured out the two remaining daggers.

A boy who looked like a student asked doubtfully.

"Only three? I remember there were five. Am I seeing things?"

Lu Renjia replied calmly, "Yes, you read it wrong. There are only three."

"No, I'm not seeing things, there are five!" The boy insisted that he was not seeing things and started arguing with Lu Renjia.

At this time, another young man stood up. He looked at Xiao Bingyi behind Lu Renjia and said hesitantly.

"There are indeed only three. I can testify to that." After saying that, he walked towards Lu Renjia with a flattering smile on his face, and his every move was full of deliberate flattery.

Lu Renjia was very satisfied with his performance. Without discussing with others, he picked up a dagger and handed it over.

"Not bad, that's on point, brother."

"Thank you, thank you brother, I will follow you from now on." The young man took the dagger with joy and stood behind Lu Renjia.

"You!!!" The boy blushed when he understood what was going on, but when he saw the cold dagger in the other party's hand, he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Seeing this, the others started to surround Lu Renjia and the other three and called them "Brother Lu" or "Brother Lu".

But their eyes were staring at the dagger in the other's hand.

Lu Renjia looked at the people who were trying to please him, then looked at the boy who was isolated, and a bad idea came to his mind.

"Hey, since you're all alone, I'll give you this dagger."

As he spoke, Lu Renjia raised his hand and threw a dagger in front of the boy.

The boy was naturally overjoyed to pick it up, and then he found that those who didn't get the dagger were eyeing him covetously.

Only then did he realize Lu Renjia's malicious intentions and subconsciously wanted to throw the dagger away.

But he immediately thought that he was isolated. Even if he handed over the dagger, this group of people led by Lu Renjia would not accept him.

Thinking of this, the boy waved the dagger at the people whose eyes could not hide their greed, put on a ferocious look, and slowly retreated to a compartment on the side.

The entire Zhongzhou team, two kilometers away, witnessed all of this and felt a sense of luck in their hearts, while also being impressed by Luo Li's foresight.

Thanks to Luo Li's suggestion... Fortunately, I didn't leave these people in the team...

After this farce, Zheng Zha was completely disappointed with this group of people. He reflected in his heart that he was really wrong. Could it be that as Luo Li said, not everyone is worth saving?

Although Zheng Zha was still struggling in his heart, he actually had the answer. Looking up at his companions around him, he finally made up his mind.

Zheng Zha exhaled lightly and said to everyone, "Everyone, go and rest first. Zhang Jie and I will monitor the surveillance here. We will call you if there is any situation."

Zhan Lan nodded and gave them some instructions, then went to the roof to find Lingdian and Chu Xuan.

"Okay, I'll call out midnight to Chu Xuan and the others. If you two feel sleepy, call someone to take over. Don't force yourself."

"Then I'll go inform the big sister, you three can do whatever you want." Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Li Shuaxi turned around and left, leaving the three newcomers at a loss.

"Then let's go and rest together?" Qi Tengyi asked Zhao Yingkong and Ming Yanwei tentatively.

Ming Yanwei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Zhao Yingkong and I are going to rest. You stay away."

Hearing this, Qi Tengyi realized that there was something wrong with his words. He actually asked the two girls if they wanted to rest together. He was about to explain and apologize, but he saw Ming Yanwei had already pulled Zhao Yingkong upstairs.

Qi Tengyi touched his head awkwardly under Zhang Jie's teasing gaze, then ran to the second floor as if escaping, where he happened to meet Lingdian and Chu Xuan who had just come down from the roof, as well as Zhan Lan who had gone to inform them.

Seeing Qi Tengyi's panic, Zhan Lan asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

Qi Tengyi didn't dare to tell others about the stupid thing he had just done. He made up an excuse and said, "Nothing. I just came up to see if there were any extra rooms."
